THE LEGAL RAPING OF PRESIDENT KATSAV

Unlike the “experts” who say the conviction of ex-Pres. Katsav was a “victory” for Israeli justice, I actually looked at the notes from his trial. It is what is missing that stands out:

There are no rape kits.
There is no semen or DNA proof.
There are no professionals like doctors or police sex crimes experts.
There are no rape victims testifying in open court. Those prosecution witnesses testifying in closed court are not identified.
There is no physical evidence such as Katsav’s hair or clothing.
There was no lie detector test of Katsav.
No victim went to the police after being raped. The police opened an investigation years after the alleged crimes allegedly took place.

All, I mean all, that convicted Katsav were the testimonies of the victims and they were full of holes, often, in fact, not believable. One “victim” claims to have been raped in Katsav’s office. Having, apparently, enjoyed the experience, she was raped long after, in Katsav’s hotel room.

Katsav claimed he was being framed and turned down a simple way out of jail. He would resign the Presidency after confessing to some minor charges. He rejected the deal and chose to be exonerated in court. No one guilty would take this route.
All signs point to Katsav being railroaded because the Israeli justice system is “victoriously” handpicked to be a rigged joke.
If you accept any or even, all, of my observations, then you must ask, who wanted Katsav out of the Presidency?

AND if you are reluctant to change your point of view, stop here and delete the rest. If you want, at least, to see the background of Katsav’s railroading, keep reading even if you won’t believe it.

Katsav was the second President in a row to resign in scandal. Recall that before the last Presidential election, the President, Ezer Weizmann, was forced to resign because of gift-taking from the Geneva millionaire, Edouard Seroussi. I noted that Shimon Peres was about the only politician who knew European shenanigans. And I added, Peres WOULD run for President. I was right about that. Where I blew it is that Peres would lose the vote to Moshe Katzav. In any SECRET vote, Peres’ enemies will express themselves. A third of his Labor Party allies voted against him. And thus, Katzav became the secret and sworn enemy of Shimon Peres. He doomed himself.
But Peres first concentrated on a new challenge, becoming the Labor Party leader. In November ’05, Peres lost again when Amir Peretz defeated him to become the Labor leader. Peres was again rejected by his own party. Peres now had two enemies to bring down to further his ambitions. And he got them both when the Lebanon War of ’06 broke out on July 12.
Incredibly, the next day’s first headlines were not of the new war, they were of rumors concerning Katsav’s alleged rapes. For 33 days, Defense Minister Amir Peretz’s unspeakable mishandling of the war pushed Katsav off the front page. This is not the place to discuss IDF C-O-S Dan Halutuz working with Peretz to keep infantry out of the war and thus prevent any chance of victory. Someday we’ll discuss who Halutz was really taking his orders from.
On August 25, Israel agreed to ceasefire talks in Rome which led to an 85% Catholic force called UNIFIL, keeping the peace between Israel and Hizbullah. On the same day, Israel Police opened its investigation of Moshe Katsav for serious sexual crimes.
Katsav visited the Pope in 2002 and 2005. He was instructed to offer the Vatican sovereignty over all Christian sites in Israel. He refused and the Vatican and Peres were furious. One of the first acts of the replacement President, Peres, was:

President Shimon Peres is urging the government to yield control of key Christian holy sites to the Vatican, a position that is believed to be opposed by Interior Minister Eli Yishai.
The Vatican’s longstanding demand that Israel transfer sovereignty of key Christian sites to the control of the Holy See has created dissension among senior officials in Jerusalem.
The Interior Ministry has vowed to retain control of the sites, calling relinquishment a “sacrifice” of Israeli sovereignty.
“This matter is under the minister’s authority, and he is not prepared to sacrifice Israeli sovereignty, even if it is only symbolic,” Yishai’s spokesman Roi Rachmanovitch said.
Peres is pressing the government to agree to the Vatican’s request that Israel surrender control of six religious sites, among them the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth; the Coenaculum on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, where Jesus is said to have held The Last Supper; the Gethsemane, which sits at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem; Mount Tabor; and the Church of the Multiplication, which hugs the shoreline of the Sea of Galilee.
Peres is lobbying Yishai to concede the sites to the Catholic Church, Army Radio reported.

Let’s make Peres the 3rd President to resign in crime and shame. We’ve got much better evidence than that gathered against Katsav that Peres, as director of the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission during the 50s, irradiated all Sephardic children in a ghastly nuclear experiment (look up the film The Ringworm Children. We know he knocked off Rehavam Zeevi
mere hours before he was to resign from the government because PM Sharon wouldn’t fire him. Here is what Zeevi was planning to tell the Knesset in his resignation speech:

“But what is understood in Washington is apparently not understood
here. Prime Minister Sharon, who himself fought for many years against
Arab terrorism, is not strong or consistent enough in this fight during his
tenure as Prime Minister. In order to keep Shimon Peres in the national
unity government, he gives in to Peres’ dictates and allows him to continue
talking with the top brass of the evil Palestinian Authority, which is a
terrorist headquarters in every sense.
Peres conducts diplomatic negotiations, while the Palestinians continue to
shoot at our communities and on Jews – and he is doing all this just in
order to revive the Oslo process, which brought catastrophe upon us.”

And we know that Peres had a private meeting with Sharon in the Knesset, during which they shared tea, on Dec. 18, 2005. A half hour later Sharon had a stroke and was taken to the hospital by the bodyguard Yoram Rubin, the very guard who murdered Yitzhak Rabin. Here is correspondence with a top informant of mine:

“Peres promised the pope East Jerusalem in May of 1992 and the Vatican wants to cash in now. But Sharon wasn’t playing ball. In July of last year he actually banned diplomacy with the Vatican. So the Vatican tried working around him. In September they invited both Israeli chief rabbis to Rome to threaten the Jews if the holy sites of Jerusalem weren’t handed over to them. In November, they hatched the Mount Zion plot, trading a Spanish church for the Last Supper room. President Katsav flew to the Vatican but Sharon still said no.
“Finally they knew Sharon had to go. Enter the apostolic nuncio Pietro Sambi. He plotted with Peres to finish Sharon and possibly supplied the poison Sharon drank in his final meeting with Peres on Dec. 18. On thing is certain, 18 hours before, after 8 1/2 years in Jerusalem, Sambi flew out for a new assignment in Washington.
“Once Olmert and Peres won the election, Peres flew to the Vatican taking with him a letter from Olmert to the pope. No one will say what was in the letter, but you can be sure he promised the pope ‘his land’ and the war drastic enough to give it to him.”
